$111,000 Keno win at the Tin Shed
A PAIR of Frankston brothers were already having a blast on their holiday at Port Douglas, but their exhilarating $111,000 win in Keno at the Tin Shed took their trip from memorable to unforgettable.
The victorious Victorians held a Keno Classic 8 Spot winning entry with a x2 bonus in draw 140, drawn Tuesday, March 4. Their total windfall was $111,282.20.
The dynamic duo was in Far North Queensland celebrating one brother’s birthday when they were shocked to discover they had bagged a major win.
“It’s mind-boggling. We’re still in shock,” one of the brothers said.
“We’re on holidays to celebrate my birthday. We had a bit of a gathering with family and friends.
“My brother and I decided to put a game of Keno on and we kind of forgot about it. It wasn’t until yesterday that we realised we had won in Tuesday’s draw. We won this together.
“We’ve had a few wins here and there but nothing close to this. It’s the most we’ve ever won.
“We still haven’t seen each other since the win but we’ll be having some celebratory beers for sure.”
The brothers, who wish to remain anonymous, bought their winning ticket at the Tin Shed (Douglas Community and Sports Club).
Tin Shed general manager Kyle Livingston said he was ecstatic to hear his venue had sold a winning ticket worth more than $111,000.
“It’s pretty good. This is our first Keno jackpot in recent years and we’re super pleased to hear that a pair of brothers, who were visiting, have taken home the win,” he said.
“They actually didn’t know about the win until after we had closed. The draw had taken place outside business hours. I’m sure it was a bit of a surprise for them both.
“On behalf of the entire team, we wish the winners all the best with their jackpot prize.”
